It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

This is the house that you designed to have the feeling of a glorious old barn transformed into living quarters, right? (I hope I got that right, otherwise I've just insulted you terribly :D) I really like it - clean and simple lines. I can't wait to see the virtual tour! Jodi

...and for goodness' sake, the thread title was just a title, nothing more. I'm not actually looking for buyers here, so don't flame me for trying to "sell" something on the forum. I'm just sharing a little bit of life with friends.

Actually Jodi, a teeny old farmhouse that was added onto over the years as the farmer's family grew. You didnt' insult me at all; in fact, if you look at the window of the first picture, you can see a reflection of a glorious old barn across the road from us.

Don't worry, Dwain - I'm glad you posted it - I like to see your "work". Don't suppose you could move it to Bellingham? I am desperate NOT to live in a cookie cutter subdivision, where my house is the mirror image of my neighbors, with a few windows over the garage a slightly different style... Jodi

The stone is veneer. The downspouts are there, you can see them in at least one of those shots. That little window is one of the house's deliberate oddities: it's about 2 feet square, and sits about 6 inches off the floor at the base of the stairway. It was placed there so that the kids, who were 1 and 5 years old when the house was built, had a window of their very own, just their size, to look out of. These days, the younger of the two, who is within days of being 6, still occasionally crouches down to see through it, but it has now mostly become a perch for one of the cats to survey the great outdoors. I'm sure it will confound the next owners. "Now why would anyone put a window there, like that?!" Heh, heh, heh. Our family, and now you, will always know why it's there.
